Day 55 – 24th Feb, 2012

I found this delightful little purple flower growing in my side garden. I was outside searching my yard for anything to photograph, when I found it. I’m loving that this Project 365 is pushing me to ”see” my world differently :)

Day 54 – 23rd Feb, 2012

Well its another rainy afternoon and this birdy has decided to take adavantage of the abundance of fresh water in our pool to give himself a quick bath. I know its not the clearest shot, but I really like the movement of his wings.

Day 53 – 22nd Feb, 2012

Today we have a guest photographer..Jayden my 11 year old son! Jay grabbed my camera this afternoon when we were at my mum & Dad’s house, and was busy snapping away. This is my favourite shot that he took, a fly landing on Dad’s home grown chilli plant. He did a pretty good job considering his age and ability level.

Seems he’s learnt alot from accompanying me on many photo shoots.

The Deets: Canon 60D, 24-70mm @  58mm, he had it on auto setting and I cropped it in PSE10, and did a slight sharpness adjustment.

Thanks for looking,

Day 52 – 21st Feb, 2012

I am always intrigued when I see shoes hanging from power lines – the mum in me thinks “how very stupid and irresponsible, and boy oh boy is their mum going to be mad when they see their shoes hanging up there” and the long lost teenager in me thinks”wow they look cool hanging up there for all the world to see”….. so it is with mixed feelings that I post this photo. I hope you like it for the young freedom it represents and not for the irresponsibility :)

The Deets: Canon 60D, 70-200mm @ 200mm, f/2.8, 1/640, ISO 200

Thanks :)

Day 51 – 20th Feb, 2012

Well Project 365 found me back out in the neighbourhood searching for inspiration…when I came across this amazing gum tree…the bark was fascinating. It had about 4 layers that were slowly peeling back and falling off. The bark reminds me of crocodile scales…what do you think?

The Deets: Canon 60D, 24-70mm @ 57mm, f/2.8, 1/160, ISO 200

Thanks for checking out my latest photo.

Day 47 – 16th February, 2012

Todays image is just a bit more urban than any of my others…but kinda cool at the same time. I’m not generally a fan of graffitti, but this was commisioned by the business where it is displayed, and the artist is obviously very talented!

The Deets: Canon 60D, 70-200mm @ 165mm, f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 200.

I hope you like this colourful art…
